    VBA macro for renaming multiple operations

    Thanks very much it works perfectly!! So is the journal application new to UG and is this the app used to run just VB scripts? I will soon be taking a VB class. Very interesting stuff..

    VBA macro for renaming multiple operations

    Thanks very much but I am kind of leary to download that file. If possible can u post just the code? Also do you have a link that shows new features of NX7. Nice to see that feature implemented.

    VBA macro for renaming multiple operations

    I am completely new to VBA but can anyone post code that will simply search the Operation Navigator for a specific piece of text, and then give me a dialog box where I can replace that text with whatever I want. Basically I have a bunch of operations that I need renamed but doing this manually...

    UG NX4 TOOL ASSEMBLIES LIBRARY

    Hello, Currently the way we bring tools into NX4 is done the following way: We goto create tool then the retrieve tool button which is linked to our walter tdm library. This only pulls in the tool itself and not the holder. I do not deal with the tool library or Walter Tdm but I am guessing...

    Cavity Mill _ corner control slowdown help!!

    Well I cannot show you the part I am sure you know why. Nice try though :)

    Cavity Mill _ corner control slowdown help!!

    Ya I should have mentioned that important fact from the beginning. UG NX2 :)

    Cavity Mill _ corner control slowdown help!!

    Well I know how to write the code by hand but what I am really trying to find out is how to make the Cavity Mill operation do it. I have been trying a few things out like using Circular Feedrate Compensation. It seems to work a bit better but still it is missing some slowdowns. I tried to...

    Cavity Mill _ corner control slowdown help!!

    I wanted to know if anyone has had success with the corner control slowdown on a cavity mill operation. Is there a way to make every pass on walls to slowdown in the corners? So far I have noticed that slowdowns will work randomly in corners. We have a older cnc machine that cannot make 90...

    Tool Path Verification

    Yes that does work but.. It will output a .prt file for every operation that you run dynamic verification on. Also the part model that is output has flaws in it. I was hoping that it would show me the undercuts/heavy spots but it does not. Thanks for the comment though. Wonder what I could...

    Tool Path Verification

    When using the internal Tool Path Verification feature in NX2, is there no way to rotate the part around once you run the Dynamic Tool Path Verification??

    10:1 ratio long tools

    We are having a bit of trouble kellering deep pocket walls with tools that have 10:1 ratio length to diameter. Does anyone know what tool holders are more rigid. Deflection is happening even at slow feedrates. Spindle will go 24000 rpm max. We tried a .500 endmill .120 radius 10:1 ratio...

    10:1 ratio tools for high speed machine

    Sequential Milling

    Thanks for the post. I also have used left hand tools as well but the company wants to stray away from left hand tools. So basically we have to repick everything in reverse and then mirror the operation. Once mirrored the toolpath is normal again. I hope newer releases of NX will try to fix this.

    Sequential Milling

    When ever I transform a sequential operation the tool path direction reverses itself. Instead of picking the path in reverse before transforming, is there an easier and faster way that I can reverse the direction?? Normally on most other operations ( ex. Planar ) all you would have to do is...
